Washington requires public high school students to complete a minimum number
of credits to graduate. Many local school districts, however, require students
to earn credits beyond the state minimum. Students must fulfill all requirements
of their local district to be eligible to graduate.

The chart below shows the state-required minimum number of credits students
need, by year of expected graduation (also known as “Class.”) A student’s Class
is determined by the year he or she entered 9th grade. For example, a student
who entered 9th grade in the fall of 2015 is the “Class of 2019.”
